Prison Break Recap

Hot damn we have a lot of recaps happening today. Monday has because a busy, busy night for GMMR and my recappers. Next up…Prison Break

Title: Subdivision
Original Airdate: September 25, 206

Guess who’s back???? The craziest of the crazies…Haywire. The only one of the Fox River 8 we had yet to see this season, Haywire is no different than when we last saw him in the season finale. He’s still creepy, crazy and still riding the bike he was riding when we last saw him during the season finale.

Just in case his crazy eyes didn’t give it away, he reminds us all what a whack job he is when he breaks into a fast food restaurant and devours everything in site. No need for cups, bowls or god forbid a napkin. He’d rather have the food and beverages cover him from head to toe. So when a couple of frisky teenagers come in to open the burger joint, and spot Haywire, the screams of horror was for reals yo. (How’s that for a little Tweener for ya).

Sucre is back on the hog and navigating the open road. And oh my goodness, what a coinkydink, look who he just happens to run into…a hitchhiking C-Note. How convenient. A reluctant Sucre agrees to take C-Note with him after learning C-Note has a copy of the map to DB Cooper’s money.

Back in Chicago, Sara checks her mail only to find another swan from Michael. This one with a different phone number. Once again the number doesn’t’ work. Hmm, could it not be a phone number, but rather a code? Me thinks so.

Over at The White House, Kellerman is preparing to update POTUS on his progress with Sara Tancredi. But it seems he’s not seeing the President today. He’s sensing something fishy is going on. Why is he being kept out of the loop and away from Madam President?

Also at the White House, Sara’s father, The Governor, spies Kellerman and recognizes him as the man visiting with his daughter last week. Later he frantically calls Sara and warns her to stay away from Kellerman (aka Lance the blueberry pie-eating-gay-druggie) as he’s not who he says he is. It seems that the Governor has been enlightened, and finally believes that Sara is right about Lincoln. Just as Sara is hearing all this she turns to see none other than Lance/Kellerman standing before her in the grocery store.

Mahone is hot on the trail of the boys and has his whole team concentrating on locating DB Cooper’s money. They track down a gas station attendant who was the only guy known to have received money from Cooper 30 some odd years ago. Remember in the sentence before last when I said Mahone was hot on their trail. Well I meant really, really hot. Mahone has made his way to the now infamous hardware store and releases the store owner and his friend who promptly tell him that the Fox River guys are in town sightseeing.

Time to check in with Haywire again. Still in his food stained clothing, he sneaks into someone’s house to evade the police who are driving by. Haywire is one scary and crazy looking dude. Like, freaky as all get out. Have I mentioned that yet? Lucky for him the woman’s house he breaks into is blind and can’t see the true horror that is Haywire.

The blind woman mistakes Haywire for a guy named Billy. They don’t talk much, but Haywire becomes intrigued by a small painting of Holland that the woman has hanging in her home. When he asks about it, she reaches for his hand to share the story, but her touch tells her that this is not the man she thought him to be. Haywire leaves the room and the old woman calls the police – just as Haywire heads back into the room with a butcher knife. Lucky for the old woman, Haywire just uses the knife to cut the picture of the scene in Holland from the frame. He takes off before the police get there.

Michael Scofield continues to be the biggest bad ass this side of Fox River. And man, Wentworth can play angry and frustrated well. And by well I mean…did I ever mention he’s hot as all sin? Sorry, got sidetracked there for a minute. T-Bag tries to remember all the details of the map so the guys can try to figure out. And what do you know, after only a few minutes the guys have conveniently figured out exactly where they think the money is. It’s buried beneath the garage of one of the houses in the subdivision. We haven’t even reached the opening credits and the writers have already hit us with the first “Um yeah right” moment of the episode. Now you know I love this show, but week after week there seem to be more of these plot twists that the writers are essentially asking us to overlook for the sake of the story. Occasionally it’s not a problem but now I’ve come to expect it, and that’s not a good thing. Ok…enough on that tangent.

The boys release Tweener from the trunk of the car only to send mini K-Fed on some errands. He had to go back to the hardware store and pick up some supplies. The owner is still gagged and in the closet, and when a friend comes by and sees he’s not there, Tweener takes him out with a shovel to his face, but not before the guy called the police on his cell.

Scofield and the guys are ready to start digging and pose as electric workers in order to make their way into the house where the money is supposedly buried. Lucky for them, Jeanette, the homeowner is a bit desperate and a bit of an idiot. Michael flashes the baby blues and easily convinces her that due to an electrical problem, they need to rip up the concrete in her garage. She agrees with only the slightest bit of hesitation. Dumb ass. The work is about to commence when two more arrive to help with the digging…Sucre and C-Note. Reunited and it feels so gooood. At least Scofield and his band of Merry Men have some experience with digging.

T-Bag continues to be the creepiest guy on all of TV as he flirts with Jeanette. He’s seriously disturbed. The horny Jeanette seems to be getting all kinds of turned on the more T-Bag talks to her (yes, T-Bag turning a woman on is something I wouldn’t believe unless I saw it with my own two eyes). But it looks like T-Bag isn’t going to reap the rewards of his dirty talk because Jeanette leans in to tell him that it’s Lincoln that she’d rather be with. As you can imagine this kind of rejection does NOT sit well with our psycho rapist murderer

With most of the guys out of the garage for the moment, Michael takes the opportunity to try to reform his bond with Sucre. He tells his that if he is ever in trouble, he can post a message on EuropeanGoldFinch.net and Michael can contact him there. So yeah, of course I looked it up, and it’s a real site, well real in the sense that Fox created the site. Seems that Sucre isn’t’ going to have much luck because the average Joe can’t actually post messages there. Anyway, C-Note overhears and is not too happy.

Tweener heads back into town to fill up the gas tank because he didn’t do it before. Before he even enters the gas station, the clerk recognizes his from the wanted poster and calls the cops. Tweener quickly catches on to him and takes off. But Mahone catches up to him and demands to know where his friends are.

Whorey Janette has had just about enough of these guys in her house, and her suspicions only grow once T-Bag gets pissy with her. She calls the cops, and just as the female officer enters the house, T-Bag grabs Jeannette by the neck while Michael looks on. D’oh.

    Is it just me, or is all of this starting to run really thin?
    – The plot is moving along too slowly
    – Mahone seems to be a mind reader
    – DB Cooper, really – this has not been ever solved in real life, but Mahone can make the connection in minutes
    – a Silo under a garage – really? Have you ever seen the size of a silo?
    – they keep going back to the same damn hardware store?
    – this dumb blonde believes this crap about fixing her power???

    The only thing interesting about this story line right now is the Tancredi/Kellerman story. Why doesn’t he have access anymore? And who is the new Asian guy – where did he come from? And the notes with the numbers, can’t wait to see where that goes. Move it along folks, move it along

    I actually liked this week’s episode more than last week’s, but yes, the things we have to overlook and just accept are starting to becoming too much. I sometimes find myself liking them more back in the prison than on the run, though I still think this show is a lot better than most dramas on TV now and of course, I love seeing Wentworth every week.

    And is it bad that Michael yelling seemed really sexy? No? Good. 😉

    I do agree that Jeannette is an idiot, even more so than Debra Jean was. What is it with these women who run across the guys? Do they all have to be so dumb? Ah well, all to advance the plot I guess.

    I do like Gov. Tancredi finally realizing what’s going on and hopefully will help Sara get away from Kellerman and back to Michael. I’m looking forward to the episode when those two finally reunite. Despite the few problems the show runs into sometimes, it is a great story with great characters, so I’ll keep tuning in every week. Next week is the last one before it takes a break for baseball, right?

    – they keep going back to the same damn hardware store?

    LOL – I said this same thing to my husband last night. They don’t have a Home Depot there? I mean, I know it’s a small town and all, but they don’t even have another hardware store? Or how about the fact that they send Tweener back into town, after he knows where the garage is, when he’s obviously starting to lose it AND he’s the least reliable of the bunch, just to fill up the car…twice…hmmm…I have a list of implausibilities as long as my arm, but I am willing to overlook all of them just because I love the show. Love it. Have I said that?

    And I’m trying to figure out what they said to Diana Scarwid (I loved her in “Wonderfalls”) when they called her agent to have her play the dumb subdivision blond. (“Has she ever seen ‘Prison Break’? No? Well, good, because we want her to play a hussy who is shamelessly coming on to a convicted murdering pedophile, and that will probably be easier for her if she doesn’t know his backstory…”). It was disturbing…in an entertaining way.

    Great recap!

    I thought Haywire brought some very funny moments to this episode. I loved how he looked behind him to see who the teenage girl was yelling about, then realized it was him. I guess that’s all the Haywire we get to see for a long while. I believe he’s heading to Holland. If I had to place bets, I’d say he’s going to be the last one caught. It’s like no one cares he’s on the loose, especially the FBI.

    I’m glad Tweener got caught. I bet he doesn’t tell where everyone else is. He’s probably sure he’d stand a better chance getting any of the money if he keeps his big trap shut!
